I'd double check on that warranty information just to make sure, but you do get an extra year with the Acura vs Honda anyway. As long as it has next-to-zero miles and you like the colorway, I see no reason to second guess and just enjoy the car. It would be interesting to find out why they were...

I can almost guarantee you won't get a warranty claim through if you tune the car. But go ahead and try your luck I guess? If a shop's starving for work, they'll probably be thirsty for someone to come in with a head gasket but Honda might crank down on that. Physics implies more boost will...

The seats are as good on my back as any car I've ever owned. I don't have any diagnosed back problems. From a pure comfort perspective, they're ok. Not bad, but not great. For the track, they're not good. I understand it sounds like I'm some sort of "track snob" but I question how hard people...

I kind of post sometimes to amuse myself and myself only.

I'd still stop well short of calling anything mass-produced anywhere near "perfect".... and the reason why is also in your post. The NSX was perfect because it was basically built bespoke. That facility in Ohio was a dedicated low-volume plant that only built a handful of cars; well really just...

Learn 2 Drive lol. We can have a discussion around "technique" all day long but I think it breaks down to simple mistakes people probably don't realize they're making. I've heard of people absent-mindedly resting their foot on the clutch while cruising- that'll do it. Probably a myriad of...

Lol clutch lasting 50k = L2D Only ever had to replace a clutch someone else fucked up. Yes I race my cars.

Yep, 275/35 18 RE-71RZ, they rubbed a bit on first install but after about a week or so (including 6 autocross runs :eek:) I can't notice any rubbing anymore. It basically only rubbed on significant dips at speed. I checked the inner fenders and all suspension components, just a few scuffs so...

I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. But just evaluate what you're missing out on, and what you ACTUALLY seek to gain... Heavy is the head that wears the tinfoil hat.

Probably deserves its own thread, or at least pile on to an existing thread on this topic. I identified the missing TCU issue when this topic started popping up on the Civic forums. Missing Acuralink features were one tell; not being able to actually source a TCU from Acura for this car was...

I think your track is cursed lol. I recall you mentioning something about your windshield being ruined after one track day too... it might just be your track surface. I can't really comment a whole lot because I just have one track day in this car, but my windshield and PPF are no worse for...

PPF is a curse. I've lost so much money on PPF it's legit embarrassing. But here I am getting a quote for my MX-5 for full-car Xpel Stealth... I decided not to do it this time though. End of the day, I don't actually give a shit about a few paint chips. I'm not a cars and coffee guy; I don't...

I feel like all Japanese cars have extremely variable paint quality, and almost none of it is "good". Let's be realistic here though. No one is noticing these things but the person who owns it. I'm not trying to argue that we shouldn't expect a new car to have impeccable paint, but I am trying...

Yeah I'm not seeing anything egregious here. The ECU cover thing is weird but I also had a Macan that didn't come with a bolt in the driver's seat bracket. Shit happens. Otherwise, some very forgivable paint blemishes. Wouldn't bother me personally. Paint fit and finish is one of those things...

I can somewhat reconcile with that, as I did not have a problem with grip at all the one time I took the car to the track at Dominion Raceway on the PS4S. I was intentionally going only about 8/10ths (except on straights... I backed off WAY early because OEM pads/fluid). BUT- autocross? No...

Yes sorry, I totally glossed over the fact that Bridgestone makes a ton of different tires. Yes, definitely RE-71RZ (RS are great too if you can still find them, the RZ superseded them)- they were a noticeable step up even over the Falken RT660. The OEM Potenza S001s on my MX-5 for example are...

The RT660 is what I used. The RT615 is a more "endurance" type tire; not necessarily ideal for autocross relative the RT660. It is still a 200 TW tire though so not like it's a bad choice- there are just better choices and for the money you're spending on tires that are explicitly for the...

I just go after them on raw times. I'm usually faster than anything that isn't a GT car. There are a couple exceptions in 718s but also they are exceptional drivers.

Lol. It's definitely Tuesday.

So what you didn't do was drop in as an FL5 in the classifier. Which is what I had to do when I bought my DE5, because it wasn't in the system at the time. Sincerely- this is exactly the type of bullshit that has kept me from giving enough of a shit to compete at a national level (and...
